The people who are so enthused about Obama are starting to disgust me. Never in my life did I ever think I’d see some of my fellow Americans acting so servile to a politician…this nauseating flattery really has to stop. Get off your knees, Obamaniacs!
We’ll have a transcript up when one is made available, but I just wanted to put out my main observation: The MSM is getting more stupid by the minute.
The first question out of the gate was along the lines of, “two months ago you said we were winning, now you say we’re neither winning nor losing, what made you change your mind?”. Do these nincompoops in the press understand even the first thing about being President in war time? […]
The job of President in war time is to lead the country to victory – not endlessly rehash the past or issue continuing mea-culpa’s for mistakes real or imagined. In leading the country to victory, one doesn’t dwell on setbacks, but keeps oneself firmly fixed on the goal of victory. […]
As far as I’m concerned, the President should just give up press conferences as a bad job – the members of the press are too hostile and/or too stupid to even do their jobs properly. Much better, for instance, if the President were to just invite a selection of radio talk show hosts and bloggers into the White House for a chat – we’d see to it that the word got around, and the press could steam and stew and just take the story as we gave it to them. Anything has got to be better than the President of the most powerful nation on earth being questioned by ignoramouses.
While I’m not a big fan of cheesy presidential merchandise, I think buying an Obama plate is a far less servile act than volunteering to be his personal propagandist.
Thousands of American lives and hundreds of billions in taxpayer funds have been expended to provide Iraqis the opportunity to live freely. And this despite the facts that (a) the U.S. interest in Iraqi democracy remains tenuous (our interest was the elimination of Saddam’s terror-mongering, weapons-proliferating regime), and (b) Americans were assured, when the nation-building enterprise commenced, that oil-rich Iraq would underwrite our sacrifices on its behalf. Yet, to be blunt, the Iraqis remain ingrates. That stubborn fact complicates everything.
Of all the weird beliefs that neoconservatives have, the weirdest by far is the idea that foreigners should actually enjoy having their countries invaded and occupied. I mean come on, ungrateful Iraqis, only it’s not like anyone has been killed during this glorious liberation! Christ, the way these whiny jerks tell it, you’d think that millions of them had been forced to flee their homes and that millions more have been forced to live without access to potable drinking water!
African Press International is under attack by those trying to shut down the Cerifi-Gate investigation. Earlier today, there was a fire at the phone exchange in Norway that services API’s offices, and, less than an hour ago (as I write this on Sunday afternoon), WordPress has shut down API’s site for supposed “Terms of Service” violations. I have read WordPress’s TOS, and, in my opinion, API had committed no such violations. All of this took place while Mr. Korir was en route from Norway to the UK regarding arrangements for release of the Michelle Obama Tapes.
We have spoken over the phone with API Chief Editor Arap Korir, and offered our assistance in carrying the API site on our server until he can make permanent arrangements. We have also spoken with Phil Berg to advise him of this situation.
Fortunately, we have PDF file duplicates of most of the API material we have linked to here, are are working on replacing the links to the now-disabled site with links to our PDF files.
Earlier this week, I said this is starting to read like a bad spy novel. That novel has now come to life in a very real, very ominous way.
Is this the “Change” many of you voted for? If there is nothing to hide, why all the herculean efforts to hide it?

API wishes to thank MarchReport for the offer but decline to accept. API will now get its own permanent Website with its own WWW domain. Enemies who are jealous to see API grow managed to create lies and fed WordPress with them, misleading them to take action by closing us. I would like to state that we loved WordPress and will still do so, because this problem was not created by them by lies envious of us. Now they see us continue to grow.

This seems reasonable. We can expect to hear the tape shortly.
Due to groupthink, blind partisanism, and a capitulation to a coarseness of discourse that has been brought by the Internet, the National Review may have lost its reputation as the cradle for conservative intellectuals and the home for the erudite and well-mannered debate that was prized by its founder, the late William F. Buckley Jr.
Har-har and farty-fart-fart. This piece was better than what I expect from the liberal New York Slimes — it was only wrong and laughable. Whether Arango is uninformed and lied, or whether his ignorant, dishonest sources were lying to him, I have no time to consider, for I am busy doing something far more important. [toilet flushes] I shall say, however, that it is demonstrably false that we have lost our reputation as the, uh, unanimously supported George W. Bush on literally every single, solitary particular, no backs, infinity — which I believe only strengthens my point. Fart-fartiddy-fart-fart, fart-fart. P.S.: PALIN 2012!!1!one!! P.P.S.: Heh heh Arango, hope you’re not an illegal immigrant. I say good day, sir! [toilet flushes]
I have now read the New York Times piece re: National Review (I can’t tell if it’s about the magazine or the website, but no matter). Frankly, it’s silly. With all due respect to David Frum and Kathleen Parker, their disgruntlement does not reflect the nature of either the magazine or the website. They were (are) provocative in what they wrote, they knew it, yet feign discomfort with the reaction and now wear the face of victimization. I find it all annoying and distracting. (You want to see hate mail? Try being a talk show host for about five minutes. You deal with it.) NR the website is a forum for input and debate, but for the occasional official editorial. Given the intelligent people around here, the debates will often be intense — just as they were from the day William Buckley founded NR magazine and thereafter. And, of course, throughout it all, there were those who took their pens and paper and went elsewhere. It happens — even at the New York Times.
A suggestion to Mr. Levin in regard to material published in the National Review, whether print or online: With style in mind, begin each paragraph with the phrase, “You know what really grinds my gears?” End each paragraph with the phrase, “And that’s how I see it!”
I was talking to my friend at Eagle Publishing about, okay, Obama victory: good for Republicans, and she was like, “you so totally ought to talk to Patrick Ruffini, no wait, no wait, he doesn’t work for us, hang on a sec, Robert Bluey is busy this week, crap, hang on,” and the next thing I knew, she had connected me with Erick Erickson of RedState.com, the young, hipgrassroots organizer who collected more than 3,400 signatures on a recent e-petition.
Does Sadly, No! have readers that know a thing or two –which would be a thing or two more than the management– about webhosts, servers, running WordPress blogs with around 15-20K visitors (plus spammers) per day that don’t crash all the time? If so, please contact Seb.
Say, did you know that Johnny Rotten is now doing butter commercials?
I can imagine a bunch of outraged Pistols fans screaming “SELL OUT!!1!!”, which is actually what makes doing a butter commercial the most punk rock thing anyone has ever done. Seriously, what could be more punk than dressing like a middle-class wanker and telling your own fans to sod off?
ABOVE: Rick Moran waits for someone to bring a crowbar to pry him out of his chair.
Rick Moran, who already has chair sores on his butt from all the time he spends posting five-thousand-word wingnut screeds at his own aptly-named blog, is adding a few more lesions to his capacious keister by regularly posting to the less aptly-named blog at The American “Thinker.” In one of his most recent posts there, Moran is spewing his usual fast-food-flecked spittle and bile over those perfidious fags who are boycotting Proposition Eight supporters
Rather than trying to change their opinion, [the homos] are making these people enemies for life. And carrying out pogroms like this against people who oppose gay marriage based on their religious beliefs borders on bigotry.
Let me see if I have this straight. Companies that bankroll a divorce-by-plebiscite of tens of thousands of married gay couples in California aren’t bigots. Instead these companies are the victims of a “pogrom” by bigoted gays who choose to spend their money with companies that won’t support laws enshrining second-class citizenship for gays
Pogrom, indeed. Listen, you super-sized scumbag, when mobs of rioting gay people start burning houses and killing Mormons, then get back to me with this “pogrom” nonsense. In the meantime, why don’t you explain to me why a gay boycott of anti-gay businesses gets your man boobs in a twist, while the American Family Association’s boycott of gay-friendly businesses like Ford, McDonald’s, Hallmark and Disney goes unmentioned by you. I suppose the answer is that a future without Big Macs and super-sized fries is just too dismal for you to contemplate.
